Naval Research Lab applying pulsed electron beam technology to reduce NOx from coal power plants; fusion research spin-off

Green Car Congress

Dr. John Sethian, the plasma physicist leading the project at NRL, says that if NRL’s technology works as expected, it would be about 10-20% the cost of a catalytic scrubber for energy, and with no byproducts. Today, industry uses Selective Catalytic Reduction to reduce NO x , but the scrubbers are expensive to build and to operate.
